A doctor in Gaza describes the horror of starvation "I remember the first time that I saw a little girl, she was eight months old, brought to meβ€”she was sticks and bones and she was dead."

β€Š"There is no sane human being who can look at the situation and not see a pile of war crimes and evidence of genocide everywhere that they look at this point. Anyone who doesn’t recognize what’s happening in Gaza as war crimes and a genocide is not serious. They are propagandists and that is it."

This is no BS take. The Canadian barometer would be similar, or follow Tim Horton's coffee buying habits.

Because most of their sources for information aren't schooled in journalistic standards for facts and INFORMED opinion, and have dubious credentials at best.
